| Montana gets baptized!! |
This week has been nothing short of spectacular. First off, do you remember Montana? Sister Holcomb and I taught her the first few lessons and then had to hand her over to the elders in her area? Well, she got baptized on Saturday! And we surprised her! She cried when she saw us all walk in. She's amazing. And in the picture it looks like she doesn't like me...just Sister Holcomb. False advertising. It was so amazing to get to be there for her. Nobody in her family was there, they are all against the church which is hard. But she has such great faith and you could feel her spirit and testimony the whole time. I was asked to give the closing prayer, such a big deal I know. Also, she has the prettiest hair!
In other baptismal news, two of our investigators that we started teaching this week are on date to be baptized. One for this coming Saturday, August 3rd. And the other for August 17th! Bailey, is getting baptized on Saturday. She is 17 and going to be a senior this year. She got to go to the Luke Bryan/Florida Georgia Line concert this weekend...so not fair. But she has been coming to church for a while with her best friend and has also been to Girl's Camp since she was like 13. She wanted to be baptized before we met with her, so that made our job a little easy. She's really awesome! Noah is the other one getting baptized on the 17th. He's also 17 and going to be a senior. His parents are anti but his older brother was baptized a few years ago and is now married in the temple. All his fiends are LDS so a few of them always come to the lessons which is super good. He is just always eager to learn more and more. Even though we are teaching them I don't feel like I can take "credit" for their baptisms. They were both so prepared when we met them and so just ready to have the blessings of the gospel in their life. I honestly don't feel like I deserve all these blessings! I have been working really hard and it's nice to see something come from it, but really. I just happen to be in the right place at the right time to have the privilege of teaching them. They are both showing great faith in being baptized regardless of what is going on around them. What a huge commitment...with the best possible consequences!
Also, Beky's letters are seriously hilarious. I will send a picture. I feel bad that I haven't sent my response out...but I do have the letter written to her and Joseph! Also, thanks to Nickel and Patricia for the letters. Dallan also sent me a paint can full of stuff, by way of his neighbor that was coming to Gilbert. So that was an unexpected knock on the door and surprise one night!
